In July 2008 the artist Dave Pearson died leaving an enormous amount of artwork. This blog follows the journey taken by one of the executors of his will - a steep learning curve to perpetuate the reputation of an inspirational artist and man.

Preparations

Screen grab from 'To Byzantium' - moving work from Globe Arts Studios

1,000 clear wrapped copies of the DVD 'To Byzantium' have arrived from the duplication plant. They are piled up in the See Gallery, waiting for distribution - which will start immediately after the launch at the Cornerhouse in two weeks time. They look great.

Invites have been sent out and people are beginning to call in to reserve their seats. Margaret Mytton is helping Julian in chasing people up for their RSVPs. Further, Derek Smith, the director of the film, has shown it to Alex Kann, at the Community Channel, and he has said that they are keen to show it as part of an upcoming arts season.

Mental Note: The Trust urgently needs to prepare itself for these events. We need to decide how we'll respond to all sorts of possible enquiries once the film has been released, and as it begins to be seen more widely.

The Dave Pearson Studio

From 2009 until March 2018 The Dave Pearson Trust looked after Dave Pearson's creative legacy.

In April 2018 The Dave Pearson Studio took over this role, and the story behind both the Trust years and the studio is documented in this blog, which is a resource for anyone interested in the management of artist's estates.

Dave Pearson's legacy is now owned by Dave's son Chris and supported by Bob Frith. Ella Cole works with us as Archivist.
